The location is known for its spacious campsites, allowing you to spread out and enjoy the scenery. Many visitors have commented on the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, with one camper noting, “This site was so peaceful and beautiful.” While there are no electric hookups or drinking water, the area is pet-friendly and allows campfires, so you can enjoy a cozy evening under the stars.

Liked it

Good Verizon service, was able to work remote. Got pretty windy but it was nice on the hot days. Idk if I’d swim in the water. There was a pit toilet. Good view of the mountains. Agree with review below that it’s not a destination spot, but if you’re in the area I’d do a night

Windy but comfortable

wouldn't recommend if you are tent camping, but i was very comfortable in my car despite very strong winds. ATT is intermittent but works nonetheless! no toilet paper in toilets so bring your own! nice quiet spot but as others have said, it's definitely not a destination spot

Quick overnight

We arrived around sunset for a quick night on our road trip heading West. There were some bugs out but nothing crazy. Peaceful sounds of birds and waterfowl. Fell asleep to thunderstorms way off in the distance. We stayed at first spot near the closest pit toilet, was a tad dirty but serviceable. Probably wouldn’t recommend for multiple nights and definitely not a destination type location but worked for us, lucky to have no major winds.

Peaceful and beautiful

This site was so peaceful and beautiful, especially at sunset and sunrise. The bugs were terrible when we got there around sunset, but in the morning they weren’t swarming. There was lots of space between campers, and lots of places to choose from, all giving the same view. There were a few vault toilets that were pretty clean spread throughout, but a bit of a walk if you aren’t parked next to them. No shade in sight, so prepare to be pretty exposed. Lots of birds to see, and also some pretty cool rocks if you are into that.

Beautiful

Beautiful and easy to get to. Will fit any size rig. Paved the whole way until you get to the reservoir and then it’s a pretty easy dirt/gravel road. Lots of spaces available even on the weekend. Saw two spaces with picnic tables and formal fire pits but you can camp pretty much wherever. Only complaint would be the biting flies.

Beautiful but WINDY!

The campground is very nice, bathrooms are clean, and not many people out and about when I was here. A couple campers on the other side of the lake; I was the only one tent camping. Seems to be a popular area for fishing. However, the site has no cover from trees and is completely flat; therefore, it is very windy! Still a nice place to camp. The site came equipped with a picnic table and a firepit.
